If you got Carr's
The Hollow Man (also known as
The Three Coffins) be aware that one chapter is a "locked room lecture," which contains spoilers of sorts for some other writers' locked-room mysteries, so I would suggest either skipping it or reading older locked-room mysteries, such as Leroux's
The Mystery of the Yellow Room or Israel Zangwill's
The Big Bow Mystery (also available on mobileread) first.
